Not all bad news though, we're happy to take in any refugees fleeing Pride Park. Pull on a red jersey and you'll receive a warm welcome.. Because that’s exactly what you need, more and more players for your bloated squad. Rammy03 and Crewton 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure most of our fan base would improve your team, too tempting to "whoopsy" the odd own goal and tell the forest fans to get in the bin. They'd probably have to sign for Olympiacos first.

If we don’t sell anyone before next week, it could be a good game for a change, with both teams playing reasonably decent, instead of the typical testosterone stuff of a local “Derby”.

Red_Dawn Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 (edited) Am I missing something here guys, why aren't the admins accepting bids for some of your players, that presumably would be enough to get you over the line for the season? Lets say if reports are to be believed, Knight is worth 8m and Lawrence 8m. Sell those pair for a cut rate 10, you're good to see the season out. I know that would effectively doom your chances of staying up, but presumably that would be preferable to the EFL kicking you out?

DerbyPride Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Putting rivalries aside, it's pleasing to see the number of comments on the petition from Forest fans. Respect where respect's due. I'd like to hope that if the boot was on the other foot we'd be doing exactly the same. bimmerman, Red_Dawn, archram and 2 others 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know and given your unfortunate situation I don't think you wouldn't get 8-10m. But banter aside there is talent that could be sold to make up the 7m (was it?) that the EFL demand to see. I just don't see what your admins are doing bar dithering and delaying the inevitable? Even Ed Dawes was alluding to the same the other day.

Even Ed Dawes was alluding to the same the other day. I don't know that they are 'dithering' as such. Shinnie has gone for the price of a postage stamp, purely to save £300-400K in wages. Selling young players on low wages for peanuts (like Sibley to Millwall for a reputed 'low 5 figure sum with no add-ons') wouldn't help with the funding gap and could be construed as the Admins selling an asset well below value to the detriment of creditors. I think Championship clubs who actually complained about this are beneath contempt, because there are greater considerations than their desire for revenge. If someone came in with an offer of around £1M for Lawrence, I've no doubt they'd take it, because the saving on his wages alone would be circa £750K - but that ignores the possibility that Lawrence might turn down a move : players aren't slaves anymore.

Do other teams in this league really have the funds to be generous? We already only have 11 players over the age of 21. A few sales and injuries and what can we field? All that then does is make a mockery of the competition. Will Stoke be impressed that we did the double over them but their play off rivals might get much easier games. Would that claim be any less valid than those of Middlesbrough and Wycombe? Premier ram and Crewton 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 You know,no matter how bad it gets, there is always the fact you can get up in the morning, look in the mirror and know that you are not a forest fan. Unless you are of course. In which case, I'm not sure what you'd do to carry on and face each day. Premier ram and Crewton 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had gone to the EFL on Friday to announce the preferred bidder, and the EFL said "No, sort out our... er, I mean Middlesbrough's and Wycombe's ... yes, that's right, spurious and illegal blackmail first or they...
